Apple Watch screen sizes and resolutions by series and case size
Apple Watch screens are @2x and are named by case size, not by pixels. Current models: 42 mm Series 10/11 at 374 × 446 px (187 × 223 pt), 46 mm at 416 × 496 px (208 × 248 pt), and Ultra 3 at 422 × 514 px (211 × 257 pt). Older 40/41/44/45 mm sizes are still common. All 10 entries from Screen Specs's catalog are below.
Every Apple Watch screen size
Same case size does not mean same screen: Series 7–9 45 mm (396 × 484) and Series 10/11 46 mm (416 × 496) differ, and Ultra 3 has a larger display than Ultra 1/2 in the same 49 mm case. watchOS has no safe-area inset in the iOS sense; the rounded corners are handled by the system.

Sizing complications and widgets
Design for the smallest active size you support (162 × 197 pt on 40 mm) and the largest (211 × 257 pt on Ultra 3); text scales between them through Dynamic Type rather than fixed layouts. iPhone companion-app sizes are on iPhone screen sizes.
What this cannot do
- Values are the catalog bundled in Screen Specs; Apple's own tech specs and Human Interface Guidelines are the primary source and win if they ever disagree.
- Screen Specs is iPhone only (iOS 15 or later); this page is the web view of one part of its catalog.
- Series 0–3 rows are grouped; those models are out of watchOS support.
- Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 share a row because their displays are identical.
